Amy White, of The Independent Weekly, reviews Jean Toche: Impressions from the Rogue Bush Imperial Presidency , now on display in the Franklin Center’s main gallery .
April 20, 2004 by Jean Toche
Of the show, which runs through November 29, White writes:
Toche presents a unique opportunity to think about art and protest in the ’60s through the lens of the work he continues to produce today. Looking at Toche gives context to the Whitney Museum of American Art’s 2006 re-creation of Irving Petlin’s 1966 collaborative Peace Tower and Julia Bryan-Wilson’s recent book Art Workers: Radical Practice in the Vietnam War Era. It also sets a historical stage for manifestations of art and protest being done today by groups like the Journal of Aesthetic Protest.
